Most meditations either focus on the “now” with contentment and presence, or the future, with visualization. This meditation does both and is the one I use most often in my own meditation practice, plus it has some rad science that shows how it increases creativity on a brain wave level! This meditation is a riff on Vishen Lakhiani’s 6 phase meditation. I first learned about this from his book the code of the extraordinary mind, which I highly recommend, it’s such a good read.

Thanks for your enthusiasm on the reboot, you all sent in your wins and I'm super excited to share and shout you out at the end of the episode! Let's talk about how to plug into the upward spiral of creativity!

But when you are plugged into creativity you see how much of an upward spiral it is–that ...

This is probably my ultimate thesis with the podcast, it's so fun to try to synthesize 153 episodes for you. Whether you're in a creative career, creative hobby, or just think, I'm not actually creative but I’d like to get in better touch with that part of myself...don’t worry about it being good; worry about creativity being good FOR you!

Anyone who has a recognizable style is just really good at making decisions and zeroing in on what they like and want. The people who grow the fastest seem to like the least amount of stuff!

Quitting is generally viewed as a very negative thing in our culture, as though you’ve given up. In a lot of cases it's true that we don't persevere and ask enough of ourselves.

The mundane can be flattening, and it has been for me lately. I've been thinking about being tired vs. being uninspired, because a lot of times I will go into a creative process and feel tired, have lots of other things weighing on my mind. But once I'm there, I feel on fire, and in flow, time and space collapse, I'm having so much fun, I'm challenged but I'm also up to the challenge, I'm dancing in that magic space between mastery and mystery.
